  • newcomer here, advice please
    by vinnyrawd at 15:39 on 23 March 2010
    hi all , i have written a play that will be staged at the camden fringe festival in august, the play involves a meeting of a homeless man and a woman who has had it all in her life , and has lost it all , she has not been a very good human being at times in her life, it is set on christmas eve.the twist is the homeless man is an angel and only he can decide the path of the rest of her life , i am having serious jitters now that it is too ' its a wonderful life' and therefore too corny, any comments, advice or sarcasm will be taken onboard, thanks vinny

    I really wouldn't worry about the content - everyone has to start somewhere, and part of what makes a play work (or not) is audience reaction, and you won't know that until you stage it - it's a Catch 22 situation. But all the best with the Camden Fringe Festival.

    This sounds excellent. Don't be scared of angels. Angels are ace.

    Incidentally, don't you find it ironic that the favourite drink of the homeless is often Tenants?

    tennants seems to be the lubrication of choice , ironic really when homeless people are not tennants , maybe its an inside joke!!!
